Will A1 replace ketchup as an official vegetable on school menus?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago

They hate education because they're morons

Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.

Jesus Fucking Christ no wonder the world laughs at us. "You want I should teach dem skools a lesson, boss?"

[–] damdy@lemm.ee 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'm fully onboard that you past shouldn't matter if you're good. I won't hold it against Linda McMahon for her WWE performances etc. But she's an odd cookie and has no place running education.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Yeah that's really my point. The head of any government department should have past experience related to what that department does. Same requirement as for ANY job - you don't get hired as head chef if you've never even worked in a kitchen FFS. Trump's appointments are a festival of incompetence.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's so American to be ashamed of the world laughing at us, and not at all the heinous shit we've done.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Maybe it's also American to understand I was expressing shame at being heinous, I dunno.

Vince McMahon‘s daughter is the secretary of education?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

No, it’s his wife, who has collaborated in a bunch of his fucked up endeavors, likely including helping with sex trafficking.

Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it's AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You've never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?

[–] Lyrl@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Apparently she started out saying AI, then switched to A1 mid-statement. Might have been corrected privately before, but it only partially took.

The secretary of education is so educated

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Thank god we didn’t elect Dems. Can you imagine?

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She could be gay and smart 🤮

[–] Tim_Bisley@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago

They would have made us eat arugula and wear one of Obama's tan suits. The horror.

[–] coldasblues@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

OKay, but did they have to use such a good photo, and now I want A1.

Considering Vince McMahon didn't know what a burrito was, I'm not particularly surprised.

Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It's one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here's a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?

"I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: 'We're going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.' So, Vince goes, 'Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?' It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, 'Well, we know what a burrito is.' And Vince goes, 'Well, where the hell have I been?'

"But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince's secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that's the idea - when you're in a bubble and in a business where you're ostracized from society, it's you and them, that's it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world."

It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it.

That’s no burrito, that’s an abomination.

Ketchup on a burrito that you don't know is called a burrito is up there with putting ketchup on a well-done steak

People seem to be missing the one positive piece of news here: She's literate!

The only person who would make this mistake is someone who read "AI" in an ambiguous font. I know it's a low bar, but this means that the secretary of education is able to read.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Reading 50% of a 2 word sentence right count as literate now i. America

The law firm I work for has been tracking his EO's, and we've had to put a disclaimer on our pages this week because WH office staff keep putting the wrong articles under the wrong URL's and we don't want our clients to think it's us making these stupid mistakes.

He's literally just hiring his stupid pals and firing competent workers.

Dumb people don't question commands.

The tech and sauce are both overrated.

[–] bdmayhem@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

A1 is delicious, just terrible for a good steak

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

...what do you put it on then?

[–] bdmayhem@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

A little salt and a lot of heat

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 9 hours ago

No, i meant if A1 is delicious, what do you eat it on.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

HP makes shit printers, but great sauce

She doesn't have the job because she's smart.

She has the job because she's on their side.

We still have a secretary of education?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 71 points 1 day ago (4 children)

We have the wife of the world's most famous pro wrestling promoter, who someone gave the title of Secretary of Education. You may ask why the the wife of the world's most famous pro wrestling promoter is Secretary of Education. As in, that is a question that may be asked.

As a descendent of German migrants, I’m officially dropping the “American” from “German-American.” I no longer want to be associated with this level of stupidity.

[–] sykaster@feddit.nl 108 points 1 day ago (40 children)

I always find this kind of silly. You were born and raised in the USA, so you're American, whether you like it or not. There's people saying they're Irish American despite 3 generations having passed, so when does it end? Am I Dutch-Norwegian because my great grandmother was Norwegian and came to The Netherlands?

No, I'm Dutch, I was born and raised here without influence of the Norwegian culture.
